Remove this one. It is only installed as a build time dependency and is harmful when it is left installed afterwards.
Is that true for all of us, without respect to Mich�le's problem?
Yes, freetype and freetype-hinting are only installed because they were needed for building some packages. Afterwards they can be safely removed. The freetype2-hinting package is less harmful, it already is more or less empty. You can remove it, too.
If you have the very latest fink, there is a --buildonly flag and you can say "fink list -i --buildonly". This shows all those packages that were installed only as build dependencies and can be removed.
For me, "fink list freetype" gives
freetype 1.3.1-7 freetype-bin 1.3.1-7 i freetype-hinting 1.3.1-8 i freetype-hinting-bin 1.3.1-8 i freetype-hinting-shlibs 1.3.1-8 freetype-shlibs 1.3.1-7 freetype2 2.1.3-21 freetype2-dev 2.1.3-21 i freetype2-hinting 2.1.3-21 freetype2-hinting-dev 2.1.3-21 i freetype2-hinting-shlibs 2.1.3-21 freetype2-shlibs 2.1.3-21
Do I need to remove freetype-hinting-bin and freetype-hinting-shlibs as well?
No, at least the *-shlibs packages are probably needed by some other package. But you can always run "fink remove" on them. If they are needed, fink will tell and refuse to remove them.
